How to gain 30 minutes a day ?



By Sarah Welch & Alicia Rockmore

Are you going around town wishing you had time to get a haircut,
meet a friend for coffee, or even just read a book?
Just the simple act of getting a little more organized in some areas
can unlock quite a bit of ‘free’ time. Read on for some ideas on how
to gain a few extra minutes for you in the day.


1. Be Email Fabulous

Setting up email filters is one of the best ways to keep from wasting precious minutes trying to sift though loads of unwanted emails just to get to your important messages.


2. Ditch Perfection

Do the bed sheets really need to be tucked in perfectly when you make the bed? No. If you children make their own beds, resist the urge to remake them.


3. Unplug

This sounds simple, but if you have a mobile device, the thought of turning it off for thirty minutes or an hour may cause a little heartburn.


4. Do It Alone

Normally we don’t advise this, but if you have something you really want to get off your plate, like scrapbooking pictures or reorganizing the file cabinet, do it alone and when no one else is home if possible.


5. Do It With Others

Many hands do make light work. Cleaning the garage, doing laundry, washing & drying the dishes are tasks you should try not to do alone.

6. Stop Multi-tasking

Five years ago, multi-tasking was all the rage. Well as popular as it was in theory, multi-tasking just tacks more time on to your day. Instead, focus on one task at a time. If you were trying to do three things at once it would probably take you an extra ten minutes for each task resulting in 30 minutes of wasted time.


7. Learn to Say No

This one’s simple. If you don’t have the time (or simply don’t want to give up your free time) to make posters for the ballet recital, that’s okay! You don’t have to do everything and saying no is a great way to get more time back in your day.


8. Get Others to Say Yes

Your kids and spouse are probably really good at finding excuses to say no. First of all use the term “would you please”. “Could you” triggers a thought process of “Well I could, but I am going to make an excuse because I don’t want to” However, the phrase “would you please” triggers that you really need and would appreciate help. Try it.


9. Delegate

Whether it’s a chore board or having your spouse take over more errands will certainly take more tasks off your plate. Just remember to fully relinquish the task at hand. If it isn’t done exactly how you usually do it, that’s okay.


10. Stop Procrastinating

Have a vacation in two weeks? Start packing now. Does your daughter have a long school project due next month? Get cracking. When your mind is always scrambling at the last minute, even your other simple tasks become overwhelming
